I love this mother-son conversation, the teasing & open communication - well done. Ginny raised Jackson well. Ginny's backstory - giving love another chance after Harry but alas, ended in divorce (yey! ehem). Ofcourse, I'm glad Paul was there too, helping Ginny raised Jackson.

Author's Response: Jackson really is a wonderful young man and I wanted to show that Ginny's somehow made it through everything by being a good mother.

Well...that was quite simply very touching and heart-warming. What are you using as inspiration to infuse that level of emotion in your writing? I've only come a cross a few fan-fic writers (most of them are at this site by the way) who can generate that level of emotional experience within the reader. I wish I could generate that kind of emotional depth in my writing. That was really a beautiful chapter to read, and the parent-child relationship was nicely done. I would heap more more praise on this, but then I'd be left with nothing for your other chapters. Great Chapter! - M

Author's Response: It may sound silly, but as I write, I try to be somewhere where I can talk things out and I try to put that emotion that I'm trying to convey into that. I actually say aloud the things the characters do in the emotional tone I envision and try and get it to sound as genuine and real as possible. And I have to admit, there have been several times over the years where I make myself tear up just as much as I hope readers do.

Great chapter. Showing us a little insight into the life of Ginny and her amazing son.

My only point of critique (and some may have commented on this as well) was the bit about Anna's education. England does not have a Highschool.
They have Nursery School (3 year old), Infant School (4/6), Junior School (7/10), Secondary (11/15), Sixth form college (16/17). University is from 18 years on and starts with the Bachelor's degree etc.

Hope you did not mind but every country has it's own kind of educational degrees and this just jumped out to me.

Of to reading more. Thank you.


Author's Response: I guess it didn't even cross my mind when I wrote that bit about her education. It should have. I went back and changed that bit and just said she when Jackson went off to Hogwarts, Anna went off to her school. I knew I had the University bit right. Anna is a year older so that makes sense. Thanks again!

Another great chapter. You've built your characters so well. I feel like I know them. Jackson seems very much Ginny and Harry's child. Nicely done!

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad that most people have in some way connected to or at least like Jackson. This story and his character have been in my head driving me crazy for almost 2 years now and it feels so great to just get it all out on paper. And believe me, he is every bit Harry's child as he is Ginny's in the way he acts. :)

Excellent writing :)

I like the conversations about harry - nobody's wallowing, they're remembering, missing, etc.

Ginny and Jackson's relationship is well-written. Especially with the awkwardness of growing up and talking about harry.

I've just got one question - why the name Jackson? I know James is a typical name for this situation but really..it's because it makes sense you know? he's harry's son, ginny loves harry, knows harry would want to name their child after either parents or people who meant a lot to him sooooo I don't see where the name comes from. I thought you would've gone with Cedric - new but makes sense.

Another aspect of the story I'm interested to see is the coming "harry and son confrontation". I think it's going to be harder to work with teenage emotions + adult emotions i.e. harry age 35 meeting jackson age 17, however I think it'll be interesting. I find it easier to predict how a child will react to "dad" coming home. And i'm really excited to see how harry will react........this is all said assuming harry will come back - he better!

good job.

Author's Response: Well keep on reading and all of the questions you posed will be answered. And as far as where this story as going and how Harry might fit into it...stay tuned

I can picture this scene with a single Mom and her teenage son catching some time together watching a movie, The conversation seemed natural for a parent/child who love and respect each other. Jackson's words and actions are indicating he is much like his father. You haven't included Harry's tendency to be moody but I wonder why Jackson's present behavior has changed; as far as not being as busy as he usually is. Also guessing that Anna might become an important character in the story.

Author's Response: Yeah...I haven't included Harry's moodiness or both Harry/Ginny's hot temper...but rest assured, Jackson does have those traits and we'll see them come out. And about Jackson's behavior...stay tuned.

I completely love your story. I loved Normalcy as well and constantly re-read it. I haven been waiting for you to publish another story and here it is! Already so angsty! I've cried a little at each chapter. Had to drink a glass of wine to get through it. Haha! I'm looking forward to reading more and am curious as to the direction of this story. Thanks for the great read!

Author's Response: Well he's been in my head a long time, so I'm glad that Jackson has translated well thus far. Thanks!

Beautifully written, you have me in tears! I hope Harry isn't really dead, but I am very curious. Can't wait to see what is going to happen.

Author's Response: And see you shall! thanks!

Well, you do have a unique voice as a storyteller. Part of me is wondering where you're going with this...and part of me doesn't actually care...just willing to enjoy the ride.

Am feeling even more pleased than last chapter that you're writing again.

Author's Response: Thank you. And don't worry...I know where I'm going with this and it's all stored up in my head for now. Hang on and savor the journey!

Just read the two chapters in this fic, and I'm very impressed! The writing is nice and smooth, and the dialogue flows with the story very well. I love the mother-son interaction between Ginny and Jackson, it's very realistic, given Ginny's wit. I'll be waiting for the new chapters with anticipation!

Author's Response: Your compliments are very well appreciated. And I'm so glad the banter between Ginny and Jackson worked. I had fun writing those bits so far and shaping Jackson into who I need/want him to be. Thanks!

This is so sad!! I have no idea where this is going... I don't think Harry is really dead, but he could have lost his memory, or ... something... You have me guessing, and it's driving me nuts! Update soon, please!

Author's Response: If I have you guessing...then I am achieving the exact effect I'm trying to convey. Thanks!
